... My.  I count eight stories worth of material in this episode.  (I 
think half of them made me laugh out loud.  Particularly the ones with 
the fruit pies and the demon Bob.)  And when I loaded the episode onto 
my portable reading device for later, it took up more space than my own 
eight most recent text stories.  Now I know why it takes so long to 
write a Spellbinder episode.

Turns out I'm an anally-fixated oedipal paranoid with 
south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions...  But never mind, I've 
found me the ideal job.  I'm going to run for President!
